The Cat on Top of the Tree
Papa in a deep sleep on the tree branch
the tallest tree, his fortress on the ranch
Snoozing in the jade shade in such delight
from the spirit of the young and sunlight
Pa, Please! Wake up. Help me up to the top
to see the buttercups from the treetop
My brothers and sisters won’t play with me
Lee loves to pounce and pretend it wasn’t he
Pinky is scrawny but very queenly
seen cleaning and meowing constantly
Missy hisses at everything she sees
even fuzzy bees that wheeze through the breeze
Norris is curious and mischievous
very outlandish and ridiculous
Pa, Please! Wake up. Help me up to the top
to see the buttercups from the treetop
My brothers and sisters are not like me
you’re the one I want to grow up to be
